A 46-year-old Romanian national found guilty of hacking into an Oregon state government office and other cyberattacks was sentenced on Tuesday to 56 months in prison. **Catalin Dragomir** pleaded guilty to one count of aggravated identity theft and one count of obtaining information from a protected computer in February. The sentencing is a significant victory for prosecutors, who have rarely apprehended hackers accused of breaching municipal government offices. Dragomir was arrested in Romania in November 2024 and extradited to the U.S. last year to face charges for hacking into the network belonging to Oregon’s Office of Emergency Management. He faced a potential sentence of up to seven years. Using the alias “inthematrixl” online, Dragomir reportedly used the dark web to sell access to compromised networks and services, according to the prosecution. In June 2021, he allegedly advertised administrative credentials on a cybercriminal platform that could be used to infiltrate the emergency management office. Dragomir successfully sold the credentials after repeatedly breaching the network. He provided sample screenshots of the system and shared login credentials belonging to an employee within the office. The compromised data included the employee’s name, email address, date of birth, and Social Security number. In addition to the Oregon hack, Dragomir also breached systems belonging to 10 other American companies, causing the firms at least $250,000 in damages.
